BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 no e46 bits will be needed , except the gearbox and flywheel from a e36 will be ok. i have a e46 kit if needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 Not sure on the e36 models what needs to be done but if an e46 you will have to tell the computer it is manual and not auto any more unless you like looking at warning signs and the revs hanging on. Do your home work first into every thing it is not as clear cut as some would have you believe it is do able don't get me wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1560 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 Complete service @HELLBM from start to finish including programming. There is more involved to it than switching the DME from manual to auto. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
